Morning Modelbuch (12/1/2019)

This painting was pointed out to me by Mara Bertoli. I found some detail photos online, but not the entire painting, so she was kind enough to let me use her photo of the portrait. Madonna col Bambino (Madonna del Latte) by Giovan Francesco Guerrieri, dated between 1615 and 1618. Held by La Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in Urbino.

The camicia is so beautiful, and the nursing slit in the lace is fascinating. I also really like the lace and fringe in her headdress. There is so much to look at in this painting! https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Giovan_Francesco_Guerrieri,_Madonna_del_Latte_(1615-1618)_03.jpg#mw-jump-to-license
